US Immigration from Canada

Hi all, I was approved and my visa was sent to me today! I am well aware that the yellow envelope is not to be opened and I tried to cut open the postal envelope without cutting it but was not successful. I sliced about an inch of the yellow envelope but not documents inside were damaged. I put tape over it to avoid further damage. Will this amount of damage need a re-sealing or should it be fine?

I e-mailed my consulate and am waiting for a reply. I also asked my consulate facebook group and so far all comments have said it will be okay.

Hi all!

I want to be sure my fiance and are I prepared as much as we can for the K1 interview. Can you all please tell us what we absolutely NEED to bring day of and maybe some other 'nice to have' items as well.

Thank you so much!

Currently filling out the DS 160 and I'm unsure what they are asking for when they say "evidence of petitioner's domicile in the United States."

Help!

Background:

• Canadian citizen
• Granted a 6-month stay in the U.S.
• Overstayed by 1 month and 3 weeks
• Received a Withdrawal of Application by an immigration officer without case number or court orders.

I'm a Canadian citizen who was granted a 6-month stay in the U.S. Unfortunately, I overstayed by 1 month and 3 weeks. In september of 2023, I received a Withdrawal of Application by an immigration officer, who assured me that there wouldn't be any consequences later on and treated it more as a verbal warning. They advised me to return once I had stronger ties to Canada and a return ticket in hand.

I'm currently in the process of a K1 visa application and am concerned about potential implications during the future K1 interview. I'm uncertain about the timeline for a safe return to the U.S and I'm aware that there is no specific timeframe set for when I can go back.

My plan is to return to the U.S. for a short visit of 2 weeks to celebrate holidays with FIL and celebrate our engagement since we haven't been able to yet. I will have a return ticket, and will be able to show strong ties to Canada (employment, housing, bank statements, etc). I appreciate any guidance or information you can share.

I am currently in the process of applying for a K-1 visa, and originally, my fianc 's father was planning to be our joint sponsor. However, due to health issues, he is now unable to work and will undergo heart surgery. Despite this, he does have sufficient income to meet the financial requirements. Does he need to show employment to be able to co-sponsor? Thanks.
